TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Carbon monoxide poisoning associated with water pipe smoking JO - Clinical toxicology (Philadelphia, Pa.) A1 - Turkmen, Suha A1 - Eryigit, Umut A1 - Sahin, Aynur A1 - Yeniocak, Selman A1 - Turedi, Suleyman SP - 697 EP - 698 VL - 49 IS - 7 N2 - The water pipe is a means of tobacco consumption widespread in Turkey and Arab countries. We present two patients brought to our emergency department due to a syncopal attack secondary to carbon monoxide toxicity following water pipe use. This rare form of poisoning should be borne in mind by emergency physicians as a differential diagnosis in water pipe smokers. Water pipes should be used where there is adequate ventilation.
